Crook's Palace is a charming restaurant located in Black Hawk, offering a unique dining experience. As you enter, you're greeted by the enticing smell of the smoker and a warm atmosphere. The staff, including the owner and waitresses, provide friendly and attentive service, making guests feel like part of the family. The menu features delicious BBQ options, including the popular BBQ sample platter with extra meats, brisket, and pulled pork sandwiches. Recent visitors have enjoyed the nachos as an appetizer, describing them as delicious, and have praised the cheesesteak sandwich for being perfectly made. The restaurant's interior is adorned with antiquated photos, adding to its historic charm. The staff has been noted as friendly, and the BBQ sauce offered is different but delicious. Customers have also loved the cole slaw, describing it as light and different from what is typical in the south. The pork belly burnt ends nachos are highly recommended as well. For those into true barbeque, the establishment, now called JKQ - BBQ, serves generous portions like the 1/2 rack St. Louis style ribs with JKQ beans and potato salad, suitable for sharing or for a hearty meal. The atmosphere remains historic, with the bar still looking the same as 25 years ago. Crook's Palace is a family-owned venue, ideal for relaxing and enjoying great food away from the nearby casinos. Whether visiting for a drink or a meal, it remains a popular spot to soak up the nostalgic ambiance.
